The invention relates to a 
lithium titanate anode material for 
lithium ion batteries and a preparation method thereof. The 
anode material takes a 
lithium source, a 
titanium source and a 
carbon source as raw materials, wherein the 
mole ratio of Li to Ti is 4.0-4.3:5; and the 
doping amount of the 
carbon source is 1 to 30 percent based on the total 
mass of the lithium source and the 
titanium source.The preparation method comprises the following steps of: 1) weighing the lithium source, the 
titanium source and the 
carbon source according to the 
mole ratio and the 
mass ratio respectively; 2) dissolving the lithium source and the carbon source into a 
solvent, dissolving the titanium source into the same 
solvent, adding the solution of titanium source into the solution of lithium source and carbon source, and performing stirring and ultrasonic mixing; 3) adding 
ammonia water, controlling the pH value of the 
mixed solution, performing stirring and heating to volatilize the 
solvent and the 
ammonia water to form viscous jelly, and performing vacuum heating and oven-
drying to obtain a precursor dried gel; 4) under the protection of an 
inert gas, heating and 
roasting the precursor dried gel,cooling the precursor dried gel to 
room temperature, and then crushing and 
grinding the precursor dried gel; 5) performing mould-pressing to obtain a module; and 6) under the protection of the 
inert gas, heating and 
roasting the module again, cooling the module to the 
room temperature, and then performing crushing, 
grinding, sieving and oven-
drying to obtain the 
lithium titanate anode material for the lithium 
ion batteries.
